Hayden is tired of waiting for England to play against Jamaica vox888

vox888 Newcastle midfielder Isaac Hayden has made a life-changing decision about his senior international career after agreeing to play for CONCACAF side Jamaica instead of waiting for an England opportunity that is unlikely to materialise. vox888

Team Talk reports that the 29-year-old has represented England at youth level from Under-16s to Under-21s, but has never been able to push himself beyond the level of a youngster.  ( vox888 )

This has resulted in England manager Gareth Southgate being ignored throughout his time in charge. It would be difficult for him to be involved if the baton was passed to caretaker manager Lee Carsley or new head coach Thomas Tuchel. 

Therefore, accepting the invitation from Jamaica head coach Steve McClaren makes the most sense as they are preparing their squad for the 2026 World Cup finals. 

Reggae Boyz currently have naturalised English players playing for them, including Mikhail Antonio ( West Ham ), Leon Bailey ( Aston Villa ) and Demarai Gray ( Al – Ettifaq ) .
